Introduction to Micropipetting Platform

The micro pipetting platform is a micro pipetting instrument based on the principle of liquid surface tension and interface cutting of two-phase liquids. It uses technical means such as precision syringe pumps and rapid vibration of pipette tips to achieve precise pipetting and distribution of trace amounts of liquid. Its characteristic is that it can handle extremely small volumes of liquid, usually a single pipetting volume can reach 0.1μL, and has high pipetting precision and accuracy.

1. Technical principles

The micro-pipetting platform utilizes sophisticated mechanical structure and control technology to achieve accurate transfer of micro-liquids by precisely controlling parameters such as the contact time between the tip and the liquid, the suction force, and the vibration frequency. During the pipetting process, the platform can automatically correct and compensate for various error factors to ensure the accuracy and reliability of pipetting results.

2. Functions and applications

1. Diverse functions: Micropipetting platforms are usually equipped with simple and easy-to-use software interfaces. Users only need to import fixed-format CSV files to perform batch pipetting operations. In addition, the platform also supports a variety of general consumables such as 96-well plates, 384-well plates, and pipetting tips, reducing usage costs.

2. Wide range of applications: Micropipetting platforms are widely used in fields such as molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, drug research and development, and environmental monitoring. In molecular biology experiments, it is often used for micro-extraction, purification and analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins; in the drug development process, it is used to accurately measure and transfer micro-amounts of drugs and cell culture media.

4. Precautions for use

1. Operating specifications: When using the micropipetting platform, operating specifications should be strictly followed to ensure the accuracy and safety of the pipetting process. Avoid sudden release of the suction head or violent vibration of the platform to avoid errors or damage to the equipment.

2. Regular maintenance: Clean and maintain the micropipetting platform regularly, such as cleaning the pipetting head and checking whether the mechanical parts are loose, etc. This helps extend the life of the equipment and keeps it in good working order.

3. Environmental control: When using the micropipetting platform, attention should be paid to controlling the environmental conditions of the laboratory such as temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. These factors may affect pipetting results, so it is necessary to maintain a stable and suitable laboratory environment.

5. Development Trend

With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the improvement of laboratory automation level, micropipetting platforms will develop towards higher precision, higher efficiency and more functions. In the future, we are expected to see the emergence of more intelligent, integrated and modular micropipetting platforms, providing more convenient and efficient solutions for scientific research and laboratory operations.
